Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a photo & video partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Catie did such an amazing job with our wedding. I loved that I didn’t feel like we were being put on the spot to pose; she made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera! We cannot wait to work with her again with other events that life will bring. She is very talented! Thank you again.

My experience with Catie was absolutely fantastic. It was delightful, enjoyable, and filled with professionalism. The maternity photos turned out exceptionally beautiful 😍. Thank you Catie, for capturing these beautiful maternity photos during an amazing sunset by the beach. My husband and I couldn’t thank you enough. With the arrival of our baby boy expected in a few weeks, we are keen to schedule a newborn photoshoot without a doubt.

I had the absolute best experience working with Catie McDade for my branding photoshoot! From start to finish, she made the entire process feel effortless, fun, and truly elevated. She has such an incredible eye for detail and knew exactly how to capture my brand in a way that felt authentic, confident, and professional. Catie made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which is not always easy!), and her guidance with posing, lighting, and styling was everything. The final images completely exceeded my expectations — they are polished, high-end, and perfectly aligned with my business aesthetic. If you’re looking for branding photography that truly represents YOU and your business ...

Catie is the consummate professional and takes extreme pride in her work. With two baby girls under two, Catie made the process seems easy. The results speak for themself, and we are so happy to have her capture these memories for our family!

Catie was amazing and so easy to work with. I received a personal referral to Catie and am so glad I did! She was sociable with all the guests and made them feel very comfortable. She accommodated their requests for specific photos. Catie's timeliness was impeccable, for she provided me with the digitals the very next day. Thank you for your professionalism and incredible photos!

Pick the city you and most of your guests will be driving from and we will estimate the trip.
An estimate for planning, not live traffic. Leafy weekends in October always take longer.
